A diagram or drawing that shows features transected by a given plane; specifically, a vertical section drawn at right angles to the longer axis of a geologic feature
transverse cutting; area which represents a target in relation to a bullet fired
A diagram or drawing that shows features transected by a given plane, usually a vertical plane so that the view shows features through the depth of the earth
A diagram or drawing that shows the sequence of rocks and sediment layers as they occur in a vertical plane; commonly drawn from the ground surface down to some selected depth, such as the bedrock surface
an illustration of the interior of the object or structure if you were to slice through it
(physics) the probability that a particular interaction (as capture or ionization) will take place between particles; measured in barns a sample meant to be representative of a whole population a section created by a plane cutting a solid perpendicular to its longest axis
A horizontal slice of the landscape as it appears in a side view (elevation) It may also refer to certain characteristics of a population
In nuclear physics, a measure of the probability that a given atomic nucleus will exhibit a specific reaction (absorption, scattering, or nuclear fission) in relation to a particular incident particle. Cross section is expressed in terms of area, and its value is chosen so that, if the bombarding particle hits a circular target of this size perpendicular to its path and centred at the nucleus, the given reaction occurs. If it misses the area, the reaction does not occur. The unit of cross section is the barn, which equals 10^-24 sq cm. Cross-section values for a given nucleus depend on the energy of the bombarding particle and the kind of reaction and are often different from the actual cross-sectional area of the nucleus
(physics) the probability that a particular interaction (as capture or ionization) will take place between particles; measured in barns
(1) A contraction of capture cross section (2) A diagram showing geological features transected by a vertical plane (3) A designation for a specific area (e g , borehole cross section)
A diagram illustrating earth materials as if a large ditch was dug into the ground and the materials are viewed from within the ditch
A selection of names and addresses from a list in such a way as to be a representative of that list
